This is one of the most elaborate cases of WP:REFBOMBing I've seen.
This article on a small nonprofit has an astonishing 46 well-formatted references, which has kept it safe the last 15 years.
I've just finished going through all 46 and discovered:
- 8 are to the organization's own website(s)
- 4 are Medium.com blogs
- 3 are to trade / business media outlets (e.g. Sustainable Brands) that may be RS but (as is customary) we typically treat as WP:ROUTINE and don't contribute to meeting WP:N
- 4 are fleeting mentions of the organization in local daily newspapers in reference to a contest it sponsored
- 2 are to company or organizational websites that (e.g. The Sierra Club) that might be RS for limited reference but don't contribute to WP:N
- 25 are RS, including scholarly journals, that don't mention the organization at all! (they mention the discipline of biomimicry and would be appropriate for that article, but are apparently used here merely to fluff the references section of the article)
My WP:BEFORE fails to redeem this organization and it fails the WP:GNG. Chetsford (talk) 00:06, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

- weak keep: Some discussion here about a system they've set up [1], which I don't understand. They're covered here, but it's paywalled [2]. Discussed here over a few paragraphs [ https://revistia.com/files/articles/ejnm_v4_i2_21/Yetkin.pdf]. Oaktree b (talk) 15:15, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
- I believe (though not 100%) that European Journal of Natural Sciences and Medicine is a predatory journal. It doesn't appear to be indexed by anyone, has not been cited by anyone according to Scimago, and their publication options require fee payment [3]. Chetsford (talk) 05:55, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

NewsBreak is not nearly notable enough for a Wikipedia page, they do not have enough articles/news information about them to even expand the page further than it is now. There is nothing SIGNIFICANT about this; per Wikipedia guidelines for Notability, to determine if a topic merits its own article, it requires significant coverage in reliable, independent sources that are not self-published or promotional. And so far, this article is WP:UNDUE, ONE Rueters article covers an entire paragraph. No notability. OhNoKaren (talk) 01:28, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

- Comment there is an additional source on the talk and possible coverage in Chinese sources (like [4]) though they're frequently not loading and I'm not familiar with them to comment on their reliability. Justiyaya 02:51, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

The company is not notable per WP:NORG. I have done a WP:BEFORE and found no sources. CF-501 Falcon (talk · contribs) 01:09, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

- Delete Agree with nominator. The only sources I have found are articles on travel for older people that mention eldertreks as an option. No in-depth, significant coverage of the company

Fails WP:GNG; subject is not notable yet. Additionally, WP:MINORS applies here, given that she is only 14. Subject has the potential to become notable within the next couple years, and therefore I have no prejudice against the recreation if/when she becomes notable.

This completely unsourced article on a CEO and previously serial executive reads like a very condensed version of a resume. An impressive resume, but not an encyclopedic one. BD2412 T 00:26, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople and California. BD2412 T 00:26, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete Not finding any WP:SIGCOV specifically about the subject. There is a decent amount of material mentioning him in the sale of Longs Drugs to CVS, but that seems to be his most notable event in business. Otherwise just a fairly standard executive/board member type.

Subject does not appear to meet the WP:GNG due to a lack of WP:SIGCOV. Let'srun (talk) 00:02, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

- Delete Agree with nominator. Little information beyond the USL source. Seems to be a player who had some years in the US 2nd tier football league + played in college.
